Tron Founder Justin Sun Sees China’s Comeback to Crypto

Justin Sun in a series of tweets on January 30 said China signals a return to the crypto industry with the implementation of a tax on crypto transactions. He believes it’s a big step toward cryptocurrency regulation amid increasing crypto adoption in the country despite a crypto crackdown in mid-2021.

China’s local tax authorities have begun to impose a 20% tax on crypto. Justin Sun asserts tax on crypto transactions clearly indicates the Chinese government’s view of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate form of wealth and wants to ensure its proper taxation.

The tax policy will boost crypto adoption in the country. Moreover, it will provide a clear regulatory framework for people and businesses. China is expected to further regulate the crypto industry to “provide further legitimacy and stability.”

“The crypto tax in China is a positive development for the global cryptocurrency market and may set a precedent for other countries to follow.”
